THE LEMON SISTERS
When Brooke’s older sister, Mindy, shows up at her door with her three kids in tow, she barely recognizes her sibling who looks like she’s on the verge of a total breakdown. While adventurous, wanderlust Brooke was always the problem child, eager to slip free of Wildstone and its small-town constraints, Mindy was the golden child, who never had a hair out of place or a GPA below 4.0. The Mindy that arrives at Brooke’s apartment however, is a far cry from the ever-perfect doctor’s wife.
Brooke’s further stunned when Mindy asks to trade places with her for a few days so she can pick up her pieces and put herself back together. What Mindy doesn’t realize is that Brooke is just as broken. Her sister needs her though, so Brooke takes the kids and returns to Wildstone.
But how does one go home after seven years away and what feels like a lifetime of secrets? It doesn’t take long for Brooke to come face-to-face with her past, in the form of one tall, dark, sexy mistake. But Garrett’s no longer interested, or so he says. Only his words don’t match his actions, leaving Brooke feeling things she long ago shoved deep.
The sisters begin to wonder if the childhood taunts were true, are they lemons in life? In love? True or not, they know one thing—you can’t run far enough to outpace your demons. And when long-dead secrets surface, they’ll have to overcome their differences and learn that sometimes the one person who can help you the most is the one you never thought to ask.

So, story time: I have been reading Jill Shalvis for YEARS! So, I am not unfamiliar with her writing, and to me each time I read something new to me from her, it's blown me away. Including this one! Now, Jill is a little bit of a different romance FOR ME because of what I tend to read on a daily base. This is more refreshing, like the characters are their own and are looking for that love story or just a life for themselves, so no i need a billionaire man this and that...more real i guess so to say! (not that either this or the other are wrong, I read a variety and both!)
That said, let's talk about the characters, Brook and her sister Misty are kind of the main focus here. Okay, so maybe Linc (Misty's husband) and of course our hero Garrett who is Brook's first love! So this entire book is just real, there is a lot happening but with enough information that it all just flows so well together. That's another thing about Jill, her words..not only are they smooth but they just FIT, if that makes sense. Garrett is the sweetest by the way, swoon swoon swoon! This is just a lovely story with a lot of heart that is a M U S T - R E A D !
